Great Food & Great Service

by bottomfisher

Took my wife here for her birthday. My Halibut with Corn Salsa was outstanding. My wife had the pulled beef and penne which was OK for a beef eater but not to my liking. She really likes fish better so should not have ordered it. Bread was excellent, salad was OK with only lettuce and a dressing, needs other vegetables, and the service was excellent. When the restaurant got full it was very noisy. They have added curtains between tables which we liked, but they need an accoustics engineer to fix the noise. With 3 tables of 6 or 8 in the middle, the place was really noisy and could hardly carry on a conversation. The food was excellent, and too full to try dessert. Will return in the Summer time when we can eat outside.

• Pros: Service, Wine, Entre's
• Cons: Salad a little plain, very noisy

My favorite eatery when visitng Portland.

by whips

I reside on Maui and frequent Portland as often as I can. I never miss the opportunity to spend an evening at Mingo's. I am always greeted as though I were family; the staff extend themselves with such warmth and hospitality. I will say a special Thank You to Mat, Michael and Monica for the special attention you always show me. I always know I will be treated to a special meal no matter which dishes I choose. Every meal that I have eaten there has been excellent. I have also attended their "Cooking Class", which was a gift to me from my son and it turned out to be the best birthday gift ever. Keep up the good work.

by MJBMTL

I ate here with my girlfriend recently and had a great dinner. Our service was great and casual, and the food was hearty and delicious. The wine list is extensive and I was expertly guided by the owner himself. We will be back!
